FRANKLIN – The Franklin Police Department has received re-accreditation from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission, continuing its commitment to professional standards and community transparency.
Chief Thomas Lynch says the department first earned accreditation in 2022 and has now been approved for another three years. The voluntary program ensures police departments meet rigorous standards promoting ethical conduct and the impartial application of the law.
Of the 258 law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts, only 122 are currently accredited, with the remainder still working toward that status.
